7800x3d

[pdhenin]

Hi All,

I'm trying to fight the upgrade urge, Current have a x570 board with a 5900x I got on release and 3080. I'm planning on keeping the 3080 until the new 5000 Nvidia series is announced.

My thought process is to upgrade now to a 7800x3d with an x670e board (PCI Gen 5 for GPU and M.2)and 32gb 30cl 6000 mhz memory and then get the gpu later, not sure if this is a good idea or just the upgrade urge kicking in. Has anyone gone down the same path and seen any improvement in gaming performance?

Resolution is currently 1440p Ultra wide.

Thanks. I didn't realise the new boards where so close, makes sense to wait.

I'm on an identical set-up pretty much but I play at 1440p standard. I'm doing this upgrade this weekend hopefully if nothing gets in the way.

Are there any specific games you play, I might own them and can do a before/after for you.

Nice one, games I'm playing at the minute Cyberpunk, Hell divers, rogue trader, F1 24 and EAFC 24.

I'm trying to find a mate to buy my current setup to justify it. I don't think I'll ever hit the post limit for the market place on here.

Get into an argument about Zen 5's efficiency and you'll be there in no time.

That's not even an argument everyone knows intel are more power efficient

Got my 7800X3D system up and running, Benched a couple of your games, only have F123 but should transfer over to 24. TLDR is that for high fedlity gaming at 1440p, not worth the upgrade imo.

Full disclosure my 5900x system was tuned as much as i could, Curve optimiser and fast RAM with tight sub-timings. the 7800X3D system is stock with 6000Mhz CL30 RAM.

At 1440p with 3080

Thanks for the update.

I may have been weak willed and pulled the plug after I found a buyer for my existing set up At least my machine should be more 5000 series ready for when that drops!

Don't let me stop you , I've jumped the gun because I know my 5900x wouldnt have been powerful enough to do the 5080/90 justice so I've just spread the cost of the upgrade out.

That was my exact thinking Well I'm sure I will get more FPS when seeing all the bugs on star citizen. I'm just backing up all my current pc stuff, anything I need to be aware of when setting up the 7800x3d apart from chipset drivers.
